One person, who wanted to remain anonymous, wrote on Spotted Weston-super-Mare: "People complain why the N3 bus service at night is being stopped, well after last night's attack on the Bournville by a gang of youths on the driver, for getting passengers safely home, there's your answer.

"Just a shame the other 99 per cent of good people living there have to suffer, hope they catch them as no one deserves to be attacked and all passengers upset."

Crosville bus company put out a Tweet on the early hours of Sunday, confirming the incident.

It stated: "We are very sorry that there was a delay to the N3 services this evening, unfortunately there has been a terrible assault to the driver."

Anyone with information about the incident can contact police on 101 quoting reference 5217054534.
